caseIIIR: Corrects correlations using Case III-R

In dustinfife/selection: Correcting Biased Estimates Under Selection

Description

Using Fife, Hunter, and Mendoza's (2013) Case III-R correction, caseIIIR corrects the tp correlation for direct restriction on x (and by implication, indirect restriction on x)

Usage

caseIIIR(data.matrix = NULL, rtp, rsp, rts, SR)

Arguments

data.matrix	a data matrix with rows representing observations and columns representing variables. Note: no observations should be present when using case III-R.
rtp	the restricted correlation between t (the predictor variable) and p (the outcome variable).
rsp	the restricted correlation between s (the suitability variable) and p (the outcome variable).
rts	the restricted correlation between t (the predictor variable) and s (the suitability variable).
SR	the selection ratio (i.e., the proportion of applicants who were selected)

Details

later

Value

a scalar that is the unbiased estimate of the correlation between T and P.

Examples

	# load example data
data(selection.example.data)
	# give me only those rows that have full information
new.dat = selection.example.data[!is.na(selection.example.data$Performance),]

	# correct assuming direct selection on R, indirect on biodata, and a dv of performance
corrected = caseIIIR(data.matrix = new.dat, SR=.5)	

corrected = caseIIIR(rtp=.4, rsp=.3, rts=.5, SR=.5)
